A Model Day For Excursions-The
 Wfnchesters' Successful Trip to Glen
 TsIand-Sassacus Encampment Goes ~ to COney IRland-The Elm City Was
 Crowded and Many Could Not Go.
 Yesterday was grand excursion day. h.
 deed, it was no less than a model day for an
 excursion, and an unusually large number of
 people took advantage of it.
 There was the steamer John H.. Starin
 with it's largest excursion party of the season
 aboard, numbering about eight hundred,
 which steamed away from Starin's dock at
 S:30 bound for Glen Island. The Winchester
 hose company took this occasion for going to
 Glen Island for the third time. They were
 not at all disappointed that they had decided to go to this attractive resort.
 The affair was to them complete and un-
 vanished success. -.-.a-s
 There was also aboard the Platte Deutscher Verein society and a party from Hartford
 headed by l.. E. Pike. The indomitable Thomas was aboard, and as the boat moved off and out into the Sound amidst the merry strains of his orchestra and the roar of the water and the clash, clash of the wheels go- ing round, and the cheers of those aboard, the scene was an inspiring one to all who saw it. There was on board good sized party of Meridenites. There was large excursion by the cars from Hartford to this city yesterday the excursion tickets holding good for two days, and arriving here the crowd divided, some going to the military picnic at Savin Rock, others on the Sassacus excursion, oth- CTS on the Winchesters' excursion to Glen Island Among those on the Starin yesterday were T. F. Friend Fred Buchholz, Wm. P. .Stahl, H. s. Hamilton, John Wade, John Dickin- son, Arthur Hill, Henry s. Cooper, Attorney William P. Niles, Edward Pallmann, J. c. Griffin and J. O.

Merwin, Miss Jennie Merwin, Mrs. Childs, Mrs. Brigham and daughter of New Haven The SassaeUs Trip. .. The members of the Grand Canton Sassa- GUS were highly satisfied yesterday over the success of their excursion to Coney Island. AS is usual on an excursion of this kind there was large crowd which went along and, in fact, almost too large to make it easy to travel about the boat.
 But the wharf was swarming with people. Long before eight o'clock, the hour set for the departure of the steamer Elm City, peo- pie began making their way to Belle dock. They filled the horse cars, and together with the other excursionists who were bound for different places they filled the sidewalks. Many were disappointed. They fully ex- pected to go on this excursion, but in fact they did not. If they had only arisen little earlier and hurried faster they would not have i been left. Somebody had to stay behind because there were so many who wanted to go, and the Elm City could not accommodate them all. Of course all those who started from their homes with the intention of talk ing nice trip down to Coney Island never dreamed but what there would be room for them, and those who got to the dock late and were told by two custom house officials that the boat was crowded, their feelings can be we'll imagined when they were not permitted to go aboard. To say the least, they were not in very pleasant mood on being turned away. Part of the committee who were sell ing tickets were left.
 Between one thousand and twelve hundred people went on the excursion and it was a splendid success Between two hundred and three hundred were obliged to stay at home A few, not to be outdone, went to New York by train and intended to get aboard the Elm City there, and some went down on the Con tinental to meet the party on its return trip in the evening. The committee which had the excursion in charge will redeem all unused tickets. The committee on engagements was composed of Captains Terhune, Wright and Lane, Lieu tenants Manville, Ball and Allen, Lieuten- ant Colonels Hillman and Terry, Ensigns Todd, Kanada and Rabanus, Chevaliers Peck, Ruff and Mix and Major O. 0. Smith. They did everything possible for the comfort ot the excursionists.

 A wsshtub and it's contents, consisting of a punch bowl, knives and forks, oranges and other things, valued at over $25, fell over | board All the contents were lost, but Levi \ .Granniss, of No. 200 North Front street: I after the departure of the boat went out and | succeeded in saving the punch bowl. He says the owner can have it by calling at his ! house and paying him $2 for his trouble. Sassaeus' eleventh annual excursion was another big success.
